Volume 7 Server Merge Chapter 6: The idea is difficult to handle, and the wind is strong
Just as I was facing the female vampire sword dancer named "Stuttering, Out of Tune and Forgetting the Lyrics" and forcing her back step by step with one heavy sword after another, suddenly, a chill passed through the back of my neck. A layer of dangerous murderous aura as thick as a physical entity touched my nerves and made the hairs on my body stand on end.
Without any thought, my limbs obeyed my instinct at the first moment and I fell forward to the right. At the moment of falling forward, I felt that the space on the left seemed to have some inexplicable distortion. In a transparent outline, the shapes of many things were stretched or flattened, and some irregular changes occurred. And this transparent outline itself seemed to be the shape of a human body.
Although my reaction was not slow, it was still too late. In the blink of an eye, a cold and sharp metal product stabbed into my back viciously, and then pulled down violently. A huge pain instantly filled my entire body. For a moment, I even thought that my whole body had been torn apart.
No need to guess, I knew exactly what happened. It was obvious that just a moment ago, a high-level assassin had used the "stealth" technique to sneak up on me and attacked me when I was not prepared.
I turned around and saw a blue-skinned troll wearing bone armor, with a hunched body and holding two sharp blades, one long and one short, appearing behind me. The soul mark on his head told me that his name was "Who Dares to Be Uglier Than Me" and that he belonged to the same adventurer's guild as the three guys we ambushed.
How should I put it? The name of this troll assassin originally carries a certain sense of fatalistic mystery, a self-deprecating style full of elegant poetry and a philosophical meaning of dialectical thinking, but when applied to him, it completely and thoroughly implements the realistic naming method. I have never met such an ugly guy: the two fangs on the lips are full of cracks, and there are still some broken places, just like a piece of weathered stone; the left side of the head is bald, but the flaxen hair on the right side grows wildly like weeds, from the forehead to the chin - oh, I was wrong, it's a beard; there are two huge copper rings on the nose, and a string of smaller copper rings on both ears, a total of no less than 20, it seems that if he wants to wear two more earrings, he may have to consider drilling holes in his face - the two ears are so densely packed that there is really no extra space.
I couldn't accurately estimate how tall he was - if he could stand up straight, he might be a head taller than Niu Baiwan. But his waist was always hunched, almost completely folded from the coccyx, which made his head half a head lower than mine - I suspected that it was because of too many and too heavy copper rings on his face that made him look like a super hunchback now.
"Honey, you're here!" Seeing the troll assassin appear, the vampire sword dancer finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted with joy.
Husband? Looking at the handsome and charming vampire girl, and then looking at the wretched troll whose fangs were about to pierce his feet, my companions and I could not help but be shocked.
"What a pity, a beautiful flower is stuck in cow dung!" Changgong Sheri couldn't help but say what was in his heart, which is also what I feel.
"Hey, this has nothing to do with 'cow'!" Niu Baiwan has always been bothered by his racial identity.
"Haha, I'm tired of seeing so many handsome men and beautiful women. It's good to choose an ugly one to change things up." Who dares to be uglier than me was not angry at Changgong Sheri's sarcasm, but explained with a smile. Unexpectedly, this troll had a gentle voice that was completely different from his appearance, and spoke in a very kind way - but his hands did not stop at all, a dagger and a short sword were like two poisonous snakes desperately drilling into me.
The joining of the Troll Assassin immediately completely reversed the situation of the battle. We were able to take the initiative in a three-on-three situation, but we were immediately at a disadvantage in a three-on-four situation. What's more, this new assassin who joined the battle group was a 49th-level expert.
I feel very regretful now, and I'm upset that I picked the wrong opponent. I could have chosen anyone else, but I chose this guy's wife. Now he is chasing me and I don't even have a chance to breathe.
At this time, the vampire sword dancer's vitality recovered a little, and he also drew his sword and joined the battle again. I was alone against two people, and I was in danger and cried out in pain. If it weren't for my strong defense and their weapons' weak lethality, I'm afraid I would have become a corpse by now.
While I was hacking and slashing, the troll assassin suddenly waved his hand and scattered a handful of shining magic powder, and then his body gradually disappeared in the dazzling air. He hid his body again, which made me panic. An increasingly urgent intuition told me that when this ugly man appeared again, he would bring a fatal blow. I tried desperately to escape from this danger, but the sword dancer girl entangled me tightly, making it impossible for me to get away for a while.
"Bang!" Suddenly, I was hit hard on the head by a wooden stick, and my head suddenly split and my whole body went limp. My personal experience has proved that when the head collides violently with a hard blunt object, it will become very painful. If there is no special reason, you'd better not try it easily.
I knew I was hit by the assassin's "club" and couldn't move for three seconds. This couple with very mismatched looks made good use of these three seconds. When I regained consciousness, I had less than 100 health points left. With such health points, I'm afraid I can't even withstand a round of attacks.
Fortunately, I still had a life-saving skill. The combat reward given to me by the church finally played its greatest role at this time. At this critical moment, I activated the "Heroic Flash" skill attached to "Footprints of the Wind Elf". In just a moment, I stood on the lawn ten meters away from the couple of the Doomsday Empire and escaped the battlefield safely.
Seeing me running away in panic, Changgong Sheri and Niu Baiwan also made the wisest choice at the same time. They raised their left hands and summoned the invincible magic defense shield of "Holy Light Blessing" at the same time, turned around and immediately ran away, completely ignoring the opponent's weapon magic hitting their buttocks and making "bang bang" sounds all the way.
"That's a tricky idea!" Changgong Sheri shouted righteously.
"The wind is strong, run!" Niu Baiwan also shouted while running.
As expected, they were "professional believers" of the Supreme God who had been strictly selected and trained. Even their escape movements were so uniform and methodical. Especially the content of their shouting, every word sounded so clear, yet it was impossible to understand it. It was full of noble divinity with lofty mysteries. It must be some kind of "professional way" to pray to the Supreme God.
"Stop right there if you have the guts! Stealing and running away when you can't win is nothing!" Four enemies were chasing us closely. The berserker was shouting in a rage, and it seemed that he would not be able to eliminate the hatred in his heart unless he killed us with his own hands.
"As soon as I heard you say that, I knew you were a rookie. I'm going to be nice to you and tell you, being able to run away when you can't win is a great skill. People without skills can neither win nor run away!" Niu Baiwan teased with a sly grin as he ran away.
"It's a wonder you can run away!" the necromancer said to us coldly. He suddenly cast a "directional movement" spell, and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and suddenly appeared out of thin air behind us, and then he opened his hands, and a freezing spell immediately enveloped us.
A layer of ice-blue frost immediately fell from the sky and covered us. Niu Baiwan was surprisingly lucky this time, and he actually resisted the magic attack and was not frozen at all. After being hit, I completely released the bonus effect of "Traces of the Wind Spirit", and my speed did not decrease much.
But Longbow Shooter was unlucky. He was frozen and his speed slowed down immediately, and the distance between him and the pursuers behind him was shortened. Fortunately, the necromancer "This man is dead. Burn paper if you have any problems" was afraid of being surrounded by us, so he retreated immediately after casting the spell. Otherwise, if he had been entangled by him, our dwarf believer would have been in danger of death.
Troll Assassin Who Dare Be Uglier Than Me When he saw Longbow Shooting Sun fall behind, he immediately cheered, crouched down and accelerated suddenly. Suddenly, his steps became extremely light, his toes only lightly touched the surface of the grass, and his whole body immediately shot forward far away. In front of his extremely fast running, the wind wandering on the grassland seemed to be tamed and bowed down at his feet, allowing him to drive and control it.
Fortunately, this "sprint" skill can only last for eight seconds, and who dares to be uglier than me only rushed to two steps behind Changgong Sheri, and was not within the attack range. But even so, this dangerous distance scared Changgong Sheri and made him scream. It was a pity that no matter how hard his two short legs tried, he could only keep the current distance from the troll assassin.
Although our dwarf believer's fanaticism in the face of battle is not always so clear, he is not a complete madman after all, and he is still afraid of death. Although for him, death is just an experience of resurrection, life is still precious after all, and it is better not to die if you can.
"Help! The guys from the empire are killing people!" Behind him came the howling sound of a pig being slaughtered with a longbow shooting at the sun.
"Hehe, no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out." Who Dares to be Uglier than Me said slowly but did not stop for a moment.
"Broken throat, no one, where are you, come and save me!" Changgong Sheri still did not give up and continued shouting with his hoarse voice.
"Uh..." I get angry when someone dares to be uglier than me.
“Big brother…” After hearing that the pursuers behind him had stopped making any sound, Changgong Sheri actually started begging for mercy with a mouthful of nonsense, “…I have an eighty-year-old mother, an eight-year-old son, and a spendthrift old woman who only knows how to spend money but not earn it. Please be merciful and spare me…”
"I really sympathize with your experience..." Who dares to be uglier than me stretched out his arm to cut the longbow and shoot the sun with a sword, and said sincerely, "...but you just bullied my wife, I have to avenge her. Please help me and stand still so that I can kill you. I promise that I will only kill you three times and leave after that. I will never guard your body. How about it?"
"It's just a wife. With your looks... that... ah, right? A good-looking... that... ah, that..." Looking back at the face of the troll assassin, Changgong Sheri said vaguely, "It's not difficult to find a wife with three harems and six courtyards. Why do you have to listen to the instructions of a little girl?"
After hearing what Changgong Sheri said, the face of the vampire sword dancer who "stuttered, was out of tune, and forgot the words" suddenly turned cold, and he shouted at the troll assassin from behind: "Husband, if you can kill this nonsense guy three times, I will wash the dishes for you for the next three months."
"Report to the commander, we will complete the mission resolutely!" The troll assassin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Changgong Sheri amiably: "Brother, please do me a favor, please let me kill three times."
Changgong Sheri's face turned pale, and he asked tremblingly: "Are you really a couple?"
Who dares to be uglier than me? Hee hee smiled: "We have been married for three years."
Changgong Sheri immediately cried out loudly: "Big sister, I wasn't the one who hit you just now. You can't take your anger out on others when you've been wronged!"
The female vampire's voice soon came from behind: "If you can let the guy who just beat me die three times for you, I will let my husband spare you."
"Jeffreys, Jeffreys, there are two people here who want to talk to you, come here!" Really, Changbow Shooting Sun is the most two-faced dwarf I have ever seen.
"What did you say? I can't hear you?" Do you think I'm a fool? I want to die three times? Just one time and I'll be completely terrified.
"Ah, you really have no sense of public morality!" Changgong Sheri cried.
Tsk, I don't think I can discuss the issue of "public morality" with a guy who just randomly finds his brother as a scapegoat. I glanced at Niu Baiwan beside me, adjusted my pace, and tried to keep my speed consistent with his.
After running for about two minutes, a dilapidated village suddenly appeared on the right side of the grassland. This was obviously once an orc village and had been abandoned for a long time. I guess it was probably swept by the army of the Doomsday Empire. There were more than a dozen crooked brick and stone houses and thatched houses piled up there, and there were several collapsed and abandoned stone walls around. It was a desolate scene, but there was no one.
